    HELP is there something wrong with my newly hatched ducklings foot?

    Thank you! I’ll definitely try that tomorrow morning. Would waterproof tape be the best one to go with? I’ve seen a lot of people list numerous types of tape so wasn’t too sure which to pick that wouldn’t hurt his feet coming off

    HELP is there something wrong with my newly hatched ducklings foot?

    Hi everyone. One of my ducklings hatched today and appears to have something odd going on with his feet. When he first hatched, we assumed he had a splayed leg but now he seems quite capable of keeping his feet underneath him while moving. We then questioned if he had curled toes, however, when...

    Male duck goes after rooster

    If he is constantly trying to fight or being overly aggressive to the rooster I would probably think about finding a way to separate them. I have two young drakes in with my rooster and chickens at the moment until they are old enough to free range more, one of them likes to bite the roosters...

    Tips on bonding with slightly older ducklings??

    I’ve been trying to absolutely spoil them with treats but I think they are just scared of hands at the moment! Hopefully a few more days and they will be feeling more comfortable in their new home. :D My plan at the moment is just to be around them a lot and just slowly introduce my hands to...

    Male or female muscovy ducklings??

    Thanks for letting me know that! Quite excited for when they do get their voices as I’ve only heard what they sound like through youtube so far

    Male or female muscovy ducklings??

    Speedy is exactly how Noah acts at the moment! Weirdly enough our other one is the polar opposite and is so chilled out all of the time. Hopefully planning to get more in the near future as I’ve absolutely fell in love with the breed because of these two 😄

    Male or female muscovy ducklings??

    Yeah I’m starting to think they are too😅 their legs are really thick compared to photos I have seen of females. It’s my first time raising muscovies so honestly have had no idea what to look out for

    Male or female muscovy ducklings??

    Yes they are making plenty of chirping noises and are quite talkative at times, I haven’t yet noticed any obvious huffing

    Male or female muscovy ducklings??

    Hello I just wanted some advice on what anyone thinks my two muscovy ducklings might be. They are almost 6 weeks old and have been developing at the exact same rate and are the same size so I haven’t been able to tell if one is male or female. I did try vent sexing when they were younger and...
